Keohokalole and Case clash on SAVE America Act requirements in HI-01 primary

Jul 22, 2026

Hawaii News Now segment covers the Democratic primary race for Hawaii's 1st Congressional District between incumbent Rep. Ed Case and challenger state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole. It focuses on their disagreement over voting security, specifically the SAVE America Act pushed by President Trump, which mandates documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and photo ID at the polls. The report details Keohokalole's criticism of Case for supporting an earlier version allowing written attestation of citizenship (similar to Hawaii's system) and accuses him of appeasing Trump by undermining voting rights. Case responds that he is not a 100% party-line voter, rejects national standards as contrary to founders' intent, and opposes the current bill. Segment notes election officials deny vulnerability claims.
